alwazir 0 Posted January 12, 2011 so how would it work?through parallel ports?or cat5? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted January 12, 2011 so how would it work?through parallel ports?or cat5? you either put both onto your local network or if not networked use a crossover cable from each ethernet port. then go set-up / system / pos settings / drop down menu select samsung entre data port from cash register and then select overlay (which camera) or use hide option. (will show on playback or though search) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alwazir 0 Posted January 12, 2011 i can run a cat5 from the sam4 to my router but do i have to do a parallel cable to my pc?or jsut a cat5 will work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted January 12, 2011 i can run a cat5 from the sam4 to my router but do i have to do a parallel cable to my pc?or jsut a cat5 will work so long as both are on your network. i.e your DVR and Cash register. but before you do anything we need to know if samsung is in your pos list. if not i will send you a patch.

alwazir 0 Posted January 12, 2011 i wont be able to run the cat5 now but i will run it later so once i run i will double check and if it's in the list then we're fine if not i will let you know...thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bongofury 0 Posted January 22, 2011 while the SPS-520 has ethernet capability, you are better off using the serial port connection. Set it as Journal. And Probably Epson Emulation. You don't need an interface box. it is the same emulation as older Sam4s and samsung cash registers such as Sam4s ER-650. Also, the default settings is Buffered Print, You want individual line print. you have to change that at the register. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bongofury 0 Posted January 27, 2011 I've never used the Ethernet connection to Drive a Printer or Text overlay. So I am of little help. You may have to Contact CRS who distributes Sam4s in the states. I've looked on CRS Dealer site, and it says the port should be set to 6000 or 6001, but it doesn't really say where to set that. Maybe its preset to those ports? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bongofury 0 Posted January 27, 2011 Just noticed. You do not have a device set! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bongofury 0 Posted January 27, 2011 I read up on CRS site. They only have information on the serial port. But here are the steps. But maybe it can help anyway. To setup a registers RS-232 port to send detail/journal data follow these steps: 1. Define new port device: Select DEFINE PORT from the S menu. Select a Port (1-6) by pressing the SERIAL PORT button (top left). Configure the port with the following parameters: BAUD RATE – 9600, PARITY – None, DATA BITS – 8 and STOP BITS – 1. Set CUTTING AFTER PRINTING to no. 2. Configure printer: Press DEVICE button on the DEFINE PORT menu (lower left). Select PRINTER as the device. Select GENERIC #1 as the printer type. Press OK twice. 3. Set journal mode: Select SYSTEM OPTION from the PGM menu. Select GENERAL PRINTING OPTIONS from the option menu (page down). Select PAGE #2. Set option 9 – JOURNAL: REAL TIME / BATCH to REAL TIME. Press CLOSE twice. 4. Define system printer: Select PRINTER AND KV ROUTING from the PGM menu. Select SYSTEM PRINTER CONFIGURATION. Select an available printer (1-10). Enter printer DESCRIPTOR (i.e. DVR). Press OK. Enter REG# (this register). Enter PORT# (define in step 1). Press CLOSE. 5. Setup detail routing: Select DETAIL PRINTER ROUTING from the PRINTER AND KV ROUTING menu. Enter the REGISTER# (defined in step 4). Enter the PRINTER# (defined in step 4). Press CLOSE twice. 6. Connect register to DVR: Connect one end of a null modem cable to Port defined in step 1. Connect the other end to a serial port on the DVR server (see Overlay Setup).

bongofury 0 Posted January 29, 2011 were you able to set this up by ethernet or serial? I'm setting one up this week, and I'd like to know if the ethernet connection works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bongofury 0 Posted March 7, 2011 I tried it myself. I could not get the ethernet connection to work on an SPS500 unless an ethernet printer was present. So I called CRS. they said the ethernet connection is not supported. So I had to fallback to rs232. works ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
